Appraisal
Although modernised and extended the original form of this well-proportioned house is still discernable. The pointed arch gate entrances flanking the main house are noteworthy features and having been restored contribute to the setting of the house by deliberately dividing the garden from the farmyard. The well-presented stone outbuildings arranged around an enclosed yard still serve different purposes and in conjunction with the house represent the a prosperous working farm.
